It’s a milestone that brings a certain clarity—a moment to reflect on what really matters.

I’m a woman running my own business, a wife, and a mother to teenage sons. I’ve watched my husband and children change and grow, and in this season of life, I’ve had the profound realisation that the most important things aren’t “things” at all.

A significant amount has been written already this year about outsourcing and the trends for 2025, but as we are now halfway through the year, I thought it might be useful to take a look at some of those projections.

Last week was my first week of stepping into the role of Secretary/Treasurer in my BNI chapter and supporting the group over the next 6 months as part of the new leadership team.
